"It's easy to forget how old this place is" is a sculptural and audio installation that reflects on in-between spaces and times during the pandemic and how restrictions have shifted awareness towards noticing the smaller details, layers and ecologies of our local areas. Sourced from wanderings around the local streets, construction sites, old industrial zones and ancient Merri Creek of Coburg, where forgotten fragments have been left to their own entangled ecologies, the installation reconstructs and reassembles collected objects and sounds into alternate narratives of time and place. Shifting these fragments from peripheral accumulations to intimate encounters, the installation considers how noticing the smaller details and interactions within our local areas can create political, cultural and environmental awareness.
